Samadhia Gilkey

Hello, my name is Samadhia. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Professional Counselor Intern licensed in Nevada, as well as a Licensed Associate Professional Clinical Counselor in California. I practice under the supervision of Saritha Farris and Raelara Tilden. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m trained to understand each person within the broader context of their family, environment, culture, spirituality, and society. I take a holistic approach to therapy—recognizing that every client is unique in how they affect and are affected by the world around them. My role is to work collaboratively with clients to identify the root causes of their concerns and develop personalized strategies for healing and growth. I believe in building a warm, safe, and supportive space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I recognize that each client is the expert of their own life, and I strive to meet them exactly where they are—walking alongside them on their journey toward wellness, clarity, and self-empowerment. My path to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my own healing experiences in therapy. Those experiences inspired a passion to reduce stigma and challenge negative perceptions of mental health, especially within culturally diverse and historically underserved communities. I have focused my work on supporting individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them access compassionate care and discover their strength. I’m here to help you navigate your journey with empathy, openness, and collaboration—because you deserve to thrive.
